TRAINER PROFILE
Humberto Ascanio
March 2010
by Steve Schuelein, Turf Writer

TRAINER PHOTO
Pitchfork in hand, trainer Humberto Ascanio walked down the shedrow in Barn 70 North at Hollywood Park early this year wearing a purple Ventura Breeders' Cup cap en route to the stable office.
The royal blue and white tack trunks and stall webbings with the initials R F of former boss Robert "Bobby" Frankel were still visible, as was a winner's circle photo on the office wall of Frankel winning a stake in New York with Fighting Fit in 1985.
At times, Ascanio can still not believe that his legendary boss of 36 years, who died in November at age 68 after a battle with lymphoma, is really gone. LINK...Click here to read the complete article »»

REVIEW OF CHRB ACTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS
ARCADIA, CA - The California Horse Racing Board conducted its regular meeting Friday, February 19, at Santa Anita Park. Chairman Keith Brackpool presided. Vice Chairman David Israel and Commissioners Bo Derek, Jesse Choper, Jerry Moss, and Richard Rosenberg were in attendance. During the meeting:

  • Chairman Brackpool, convening his first regular meeting of the Board since being elected chairman by his fellow commissioners last month, opened with a statement outlining some of his plans and goals for the coming year. He acknowledged that the Board and the horse-racing industry "have a difficult time ahead, but we have passion and energy, and the fundamentals of the sport are still there." He said the CHRB will be making "serious changes in direction in many areas. There are things we want to focus on in the coming months. For example, the CHRB mission statement includes a responsibility to promote horse racing. We intend to have a renewed focus on the promotion of horse racing. Anything we can do to facilitate what (the industry is) doing is of tremendous interest to us." He said the committees of the Board have been reorganized, and "over the coming months there will be committee meeting focusing on one subject or another. We'll give everyone an opportunity to offer their ideas. Even if a consensus is not reached, we will hear the pros and cons and allow stakeholders to spend a great deal of time addressing the issues." LINKClick here to read complete report »»
